The scene is more like The Godfather than Sliding Doors, and Rupert Murdoch has just made Intermix an offer it can't refuse. The prize? MySpace – the biggest website in America. Viacom has been negotiating for weeks with Intermix, but Murdoch locks his team in a room withthe MySpace owner Intermix for the weekend, and they come out with a signed deal for $580m.

Several high-profile executives left, including chief executive Owen Van Natta and co-creator Chris DeWolfe, while it chose to take a very old world approach to updating its embarrassingly dated design by saving up all its ideas for one massive revamp. The more agile approach would have been to keep attacking smaller problems and improving the site incrementally - but then again, there was so much to rethink that maybe a blank slate was less intimidating.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/technology/pda/2010/oct/27/myspace-redesign">Continue reading...</a>MyspaceSocial mediaSocial networkingMediaDigital mediaTechnologyWed, 27 Oct 2010 14:13:13 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/technology/pda/2010/oct/27/myspace-redesignJemima Kiss2010-10-27T14:13:13ZFacebook - now with added MySpace updateshttp://www.theguardian.com/technology/pda/2010/aug/31/myspace-facebook-sync

The fact that MySpace is trying to be so excited about linking up with the hot site shows that it's got some problems.<p>MySpace has rolled out its feature which allows people to sync their MySpace status with their Twitter feed. Now it's not just for the US - it's for &quot;all international (non U.S.) English speaking cultures, including the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and India&quot;, according to the enormously excited press release we received.</p><p>Of course, the question is: why would anyone want to? And, furthermore, isn't that the wrong way round - wouldn't you want to sync your Twitter status to your MySpace status, since Twitter tends to be the place where you go to find things happening in sort-of real time? (Though the system also does this - Twitter updates get passed back to the relevant MySpace account.)</p><p>Feedback from our users has been overwhelmingly positive so far. We've also been excited to see musicians, celebrities and comedians including Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, Rachel Zoe, Margaret Cho, George Lopez, Jamie Kennedy, David Spade, Slash, Cat Deeley, Chamillionaire, Jim Gaffigan, David Alan Grier, Larry The Cable Guy, and John Witherspoon all sync their MySpace and Twitter updates to connect with fans.
